Okay, so you’re writing a post/article or creating some other piece of content around WordPress, but you want for what you’re saying to pack a stronger punch … to resonate with the reader better.

For that, you need yourself some hard stats.

Raw data is just very tough to ignore and makes everyone pay attention.

The reason is quite simple; everyone has their opinions on things, and you can’t tell whether they’re true or false at first sight, but raw data can’t be argued with. Everyone can relate to it, and everyone can interpret it in their own way.

So this is why we’ve created this resource.

Here are the most interesting pieces of data and statistics from around the world of WordPress. Use them whenever you’re working on a new article, blog post, infographic, or whatever else you have in store.
